Files are named after figures, for instance  file "figure17b.txt" contains data to reproduce figure 17b.

At the beginning of each file, a few lines explain and define all quantities, variables and constants.


This is the header of file "figure17b.txt"

Data to reproduce figure 17b of
 Wakes of wall-bounded patches of circular cylinders
 Nicolai C., Taddei S.,Manes C., Ganapathisubramani B.
 QUANTITIES =  Du0_C20/U_H/2 normalized wake half width and [(x-x0)/(CD*D)]^(-0.5) scaling law for half width for patch C20, same for quantities are provided for C39 C64 and C95, respectively.
 x0/D = (3.9, 3.9, 3.1, 3.27), while CD = (0.2350    0.3060    0.3680    0.3820), U_H/2 = 12.0315 m/s
 VARIABLES = Du0_C20/U_H/2, [(x-x0)/(CD*D)]^(-0.5)
